The Chieago, Rock Island & Pacific, ‘which did not exist in Saline county in 1891, was assessed in 1001 for $16,020. This amount represents two and two-thirds miles, which is just being recapitalized for $100,000 per mile, and the ratlo of assessmént ‘would “be to the 'market value in Saline county as one-eighteenth, whereas the bulk of all property in Saline county is assessed, according to the tax bureau’s figures, which are pur- posely stilted, at one-tenth to one- twelfth. In holding up Deuel county as a hor: rible example of rafiroad over-taxation, the tax bureau has overshot the mark altogether. There Is only one railroad in Deunel county—the Unfon Pacific.

The appropriation for rural free dellvery for the current fiscal year is very much larger than before, but there’is no reason to doubt that the re- sults will justify the expenditure, EEe—— MERCER AND HIS ALLIES. The partisans of Congressman Mercer are clamoring for recognition on the police board. Mr. Mercer appears to have formed a defensive alliance with the raliroads, as evidenced by his visit to the governor in company with Jol N. Baldwin.—Lincoln Journal. This revelation creates no surprise in this community, although it drops the mask behind which the nonresident con- gressman has been hiding.

Inciting Hatred Bavy. New York Journal of Commerce. The whole influence of Mr. Bryan's oratory is to convince persons of small means that wealth is an evidence of erime and that they are oppressed and robbed by a1l who are rich.

But it la just as well all doubt as to the community of inter- est between Mercer and the rallroads. Mercer wants to control the police commission to club the republicans of this district Into glving him support which they are not disposed to give him voluntarily. Baldwin wants a police commission not only to force Mercer upon the people of the district, but also to overawe the Wworkingmen who are at variance with the Union Pacifie. What a spectacle is presented by this offensive “defensive alllance” of Mercer and Baldwin. Mercer lives in Omaba not more than six weekE every two years. Baldwin has never Jived In Omaba or paid a dollar of taxes in Ne- braska. Nelther of them have anything in common with the people of Omaha except their salaries and both of them are simply corporation Mercernaries who want to ride rough shod over the people by dictating executive nppo!np ments and party nominations. ‘Will the people of Omaha submit tamely to foreign rule? i s Wil the home-owning workingmen of Omaba remain indifferent to the high- banded attempt to transform the police | force which they are taxed to maintain Into & corporation constabulary for the benefit of Mercer and his raflroad mas- ters? ik ———— The newly appointed military cadet from this congressional district who has Just been admitted to West Point s doubtless a deserving young man who may finish the course of instruction with credit and win an army officer’s com- mission, but that constitutes no good reason why the cadetship should not have been awarded by competitive test open to every ambitious youth in the district instead of going by personal favor of our nonresident congressman.

The judge feels very confident of his elec- tion. When he eaters on an active cam- paign he expects to ‘visit Custer county and will visit as many localities as the com- mittes may deem advisable and his time will permit. The judge is of the most popular men in his judicial district and is highly. capable of filling the position to which he aspires. His election is a fore- gone conclusion and it is only now & ques- tion of majorities, We predict that old Custer county, which gave him & hand- some majority two years ago, will double that majority this fall.

The park authorities promptly gave them warning - that they must not abuse the privileges extended them. as they do in Den. Here, however, the paralle]l ceases. In Omaba, when the reckless driving did not cease, the reckless drivers were ex- cluded from the parks entirely. And they are still excluded. In Denver, when no attention is paid to thelr orders, the park commissioners smile weakly and—do nothing. And the automobllists continue to race to thelr hearts* content. In Omaha the policy of the park commis- slon {s: “We will permit nothing that dis- turbs the pemce of the parks, frightens horses or in any way endangers the com- fort and safety of women and children.* In Denver the motto apears to be: “Any ©0ld ‘thing with influence or & 15 per cent attachment.” By which token it would appear that Omaha, so far as:its park mansgement fs concerned, has much the best of Denver. — COMPARISONS ARE ODIOUS. Tex-Shirking ™ lways Are Geld % Beside the Best Farm. York Teller, In making a, plea for lower tax- ation the B. & M. took three half col- umps in the papers last week. No one wants to wrong the B. & M. or any other road. Affer spreading over a large space $461,610,78; tax per mile, $186.89. The road took in last year $12,667,488.561. Expenses, $7,628,426.26. . Net earnings, $4,936,062.25. Net revenue per mile, $2,040.00. To get these figures the road deducts the loss on four branches which amounts to $433,130.07. Let us compare that investment, earnings, expenses and net profit with. that of the farmers. If the raliroads leave out thelr bad lands in the calculation, the farmers should do the same. A section of land Is worth more. than a mile of rallroad, but compare & mile of rallroad with & section of land. It takes eight men and four wom to run a section of land. Give them what they could-get if working for others and you find the men worth $30 a month and the women $20. Or pay the man $20 a month and his board, §8 & week, and you have $33 for the average man, &nd the woman §8 a week and her board, 38 a week, and you | have $24. Tn this falr way of figuring you gy for labor on'a section of land $3,480. en deduct this and the twine bill, thresh- ing bill, shelling, wear of machinety and noTses—aeauct an o AL mnd mise iie taxes, mihd you a sectidn of land does not ledve anything like the met reve a mile of ralirosd yieids. Remember the B. & M. takes 2,416 miles of road and takes, out the wages for all the men from presi- dent down to track walker, takes out re- pairs of all kinds, taxes, insurance and then has §2,040 per mile for dividends, 2416 section: land and deduct 34,000 a year for expenses and see where the farm- ers will come out. They will not have $2,040 per section to put in the bank. An- other thing you want to remember and that is the people voted bonds enough to bulld the roads.
